yestom Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 First imagine that I’m a stupid blonde. (Which is not so far from the true …) I install 10.4.8. I went through every step. Everything went perfect. And when I saw the apple logo after the installation reboot I was … hurray! Not for long though. That is all that I see from the MacOs. The Apple logo and waiting symbol, that stops after few seconds. I just want a clue. I just don’t know from where I should start. Thanks in advance.

For some reason this is the only way I can get my machine to boot. I experience the exact issue you do when I don't use -v.

The Baron Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 When you installed, did you choose 'customize' from the menu? If so, did you ONLY check the SSE3 option (not SSE2 & SSE3)?

yestom Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Thank you for the instant respond. The problem is that when I pres F8 I get the ‘choice device to boot from’ sort of message. And I have my CD, HDD and Floppy listed. I think that this msg don’t have anything with the MacOs. Probably is from my bios. I think that I always miss the time to hit the F8 button … I’ll keep trying. When you installed, did you choose 'customize' from the menu? If so, did you ONLY check the SSE3 option (not SSE2 & SSE3)? As I wrote I’m a bit blond. So, I read about the ‘customize’ option during install, but honestly I didn’t find where it is. So I thought I can skip that step. But I’m ready to try installing it again and again till I’ll make it happen!

yestom Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 The –v, -x, -s option didn’t work for me. The plan B - ‘customize’ didn’t work too. Why? Cause I don’t have ‘customize’ button. No, believe me. I don’t have customize button. I saw a snapshots of installation with customize button. And I don’t have that one. I’m still trying though. If I find a solution, I’ll write. Thank you anyway. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43619-perfect-install-no-os/#findComment-312692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
